Thanks to Jane for sending in her dogs for Featured Pets!

This is Sascha the standard poodle, he's eight years old. He is co-owned with my sister who comes back from the Arctic every four months and then Sascha is hers for four months.

Of course we miss him during that time but he is never far away. He is the most calm and lovely dog in the world except when it comes to ducks. He doesn't swim though.

The other dog is Betty, my son Carl's dog. She's about a year and a half now. She is a Presa Canario mixed with something, but we're not sure what. She looks kind of scary but she is the sweetest dog in the world, just a bit bouncy still. It took a while for her to learn not to bug Sascha but now they get along quite well. The last picture is them together waiting for me to get off the computer and go for a walk.

This is Ellie!

Ellie is from a pet store in Taiwan. I got her when she was nearly three months old. Born February 10th, that makes her 16 weeks old, almost four months.

Originally we thought she was a miniature dachshund. In fact, that's what we were told when we purchased her. However, she's gotten quite big since, so we're pretty sure she's a standard.

Ellie has a really laid back attitude, she only barks when she's left in her kennel at night and she's pretty much okay with anything as long as it doesn't hurt.
For example, she isn't afraid of loud noises or people/animals. I think it's because of the hectic pet shop environment she used to be in.

Devoting much of her time to laying in the sun, she loves to cuddle and always enjoys sleeping on laps.

She finally received her third vaccination a few days ago. This will allow her to venture out into the wild without fear of worms and fleas and such. This means she can be in contact with other dogs
